[ExI] Psychology Today Article: The Boy Who Wants to Live Forever...

[John Grigg]

It's a fun article and I'm very glad Michael got such a cool write-up.  I just wish Ray Kurzweil and Aubrey de Grey had also been treated respectfully.
   
  From the Psychology Today article:
  Life extentionists, cryogenics enthusiasts, and longevity buffs have an image problem, thanks in large part to guys like the inventor Ray Kurzweil, who sucks down hundreds of supplements and drinks 10 cups of green tea every day with the conviction that it will prolong his life. Also not helping: geneticist Aubrey de Grey, the wild-looking, raggedy-bearded Oxford professor who proclaims that at least one person alive today may live to be 1,000 years old.

  Ray Kurzweil  You lose 1,000 PR points! 
   
  Aubrey de Grey  You lose 2,000 PR points!
   
  You are both infected with "Media Scorn"
   
  Public image down 20 for each
